Order Cancelations
- We invest time and money in every order placed as soon as your payment is processed (our automated processes begin immediately after the order is placed). For this reason and since there is work involved internally with canceling an order, all orders canceled for any reason will be charged a 15% cancelation fee. By placing an order with us (online or by phone), you agree to pay a 15% cancelation fee should you decide to cancel your order for any reason. This fee is charged even if you cancel immediately after placing the order. Please be sure of your order, and it's accuracy, before you place it with us. We do not like to charge a cancelation fee and apologize for having to do so, but it is necessary when cancelations occur.
- Threatening us that you will tell your friends, post negative comments on the internet, dispute the credit card charge, etc, will NOT cause us to waive this fee. Unless you are 100% sure you want the order, please do NOT place it. Thank you for your understanding of this policy.
- Orders can not be canceled by email. Any cancelations via email will not be accepted. You must call 704-684-0650 during normal business hours and speak to a representative to cancel you order.
Changes to your Order

2. Your order will ship to the dealer you select when placing the order. Only select the dealer if you intend to use him for the transfer.

If a dealer change is required on your order after it is placed, you will be assessed a $15.00 fee (per order) for changing the dealer. Dealer changes are time consuming and an interuption to our workflow and thus the nominal fee is necessary.

2 Ways to Place Order Your Order(s)
- Order online at www.classicfirearms.com
- Call us at 704-684-0650 to place your order
Hand Select Options
- For certain items, we offer a hand select option. Hand select typically means we will pick you the best 1 out of 10 when looking at exterior cosmetics. Please know that hand select does not mean your item will be perfect and hand select has nothing to do with the bore, since we will be looking at exterior cosmetics only. However, hand select does mean your item will be cosmetically better than the average item in the lot.
Pictures on our Website
- Unless otherwise stated on our website, the pictures are representative and are not usually of the exact product you will receive, thus there may be slight differences in color, design, markings, etc.
- Accessories – extra items such as pouches, cleaning rods or kits, slings, holsters, etc not explicitly mentioned in the firearm description (even if they are in the picture) are not guaranteed to be included with the gun. Surplus firearms often vary from one to the other as to which accessories are included and.....what may be included with one shipement, may not be included with the next shipment we recieve. The color and/or condition of those accessories will vary as well.

- We do our very best to post accurate and error-free descriptions on our website. However, we are human and thus errors will be made from time-to-time.
- Classic Firearms does not warrant that product descriptions or other content of this site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a product offered by Classic Firearms itself is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition.
